Batteries Look Beyond Lithium
By Bryon Moyer - 07 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 1

Lithium batteries dominate today’s rechargeable battery market, and while they have been wildly successful, challenges with lithium have spurred research into alternative chemistries that can improve on some of lithium’s downsides and still keep as many of the upsides as possible. So far, none of the alternative batteries has seen commercial success, but several variants have moved beyon... » read more

The Challenges Of Upgrading Lithium Batteries
By Bryon Moyer - 12 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

The ongoing electrification of everyday items has resulted in the proliferation of batteries, and spurred continued development for automotive and grid use. Lithium-ion batteries still dominate the rechargeable-battery landscape, with solid-state versions prolonging that position, but other lithium variants aim for greater safety while raising energy capacity. Battery researchers must balanc... » read more

Powering Up Electric Heavy-Duty Vehicles
By Hwee Yng Yeo - 26 Oct, 2023 - Comments: 0

Smokey tailpipe emissions may soon be a thing of the past, as the heavy transport vehicle market catches up with the electric car market to lower their contribution to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Private sedans and light-duty trucks lead the vehicle electrification race, leaving much upside opportunity for heavy transport fleets such as trucks and buses to catch up. In the United Stat... » read more
